.... hungry and very thirsty. In that fight two men had died or at least it was thought to be when they found out one was alive they went on happily. They tricked the captain and two of the crew into thinking that Zachariah was dead, but all that was thrown overboard was some cloth in a hammock bed. Because the captain thought he was dead his secret was very big. Every day the sailors would bring him food while he was hiding in the brig. This poem relates to the part of the novel when there is a big fight and two are thought to be dead. It tells what happens before, during, and after the fight. Captain’s Triumph The capt .....

.... tragic plays and the suffering that necessarily accompanied them. This image becomes powerful as the reader realizes that the poet is saying that he can hear the same message on Dover Beach that Sophocles heard so many years ago by the Aegean. He is basically saying that the nature of life doesn't change. There was suffering in the times of the Greeks, suffering in his time, and there will be suffering after he is gone. The poet finishes the poem of with several images that lend even more power to the poem. At the end of the poem the sea has become the exact opposite of what it was at the beginning. No longer calm, the image th .....

.... Poe's could first wife's death that "Ligeia" was a part of him. In "Morella", it was said that she may have been a witch. Morella she is intelligent. Although, she did go to a school for the black arts. She represents surpassing knowledge that the husband doesn't have. He wants to have this so he starts to study with her. He becomes her pupil.

The spell was a reminder for the man to regret what he did to Morella. How he neglected her as a wife. When the da .....

.... elevate the status of the majors to a false superior position. "Scrap" makes it seems as if the soldier's death occurred on a playground, not a battlefield. It seems to trivialize war in general. "And when the war is done and the youth stone dead, I'd toddle safely home and die - in bed." The poet's last lines give the reader an insight into the true wishes of the soldier. The youth stone dead allow the reader to acknowledge the finality of death and the wasted lives of the young soldiers while the old, fat men are allowed the luxury of living to old age and then dying in their own beds. "Toddle" is a word tha .....

.... common theme. Frost's "Take Something Like a Star" sticks with the word star to represent God. All of the adjectives that Frost uses to describe the star also go hand in hand with God. In the Poem "Love Calls Us to the Things of This World", Wilbur uses laundry on a clothesline to characterize the human spirit. Wilbur uses more nouns to describe the spiritual soul than Frost's usage of adjectives. Both Frost and Wilbur stress, however, theses everyday objects pronounce the power of God. "Some are in bed-sheets, some are in blouses, Some are in smocks: but truly there they [angels] are." -Willburr "O Star (fairest one .....

.... and the other road looked hardly used "Because it was grassy and wanted wear"(8), he makes the choice to go down the one less traveled. This poem shows that nature can be beautiful by setting you free to letting you choice and to enjoy the view that nature has to offer. On the other hand, there are a few poems which show that Robert Frost was less in awe of nature and fearful of it. One of these is the poem "Design". It takes two of nature's most innocent characters, the moth and the spider, and then finds a tragic death in their lives. Why must the moth die? Why is nature so cruel? Frost questions how nature can be so be .....

.... in London. When Blake says that he sees "marks of weakness, marks of woe" in "every face" he meets, he means that he can see how this commercialism is affecting everyone rich and poor. Yet, despite the divisions that the word charter'd suggests, the speaker contends that no one in London, neither rich or poor, escapes a pervasive sense of misery and entrapment. The speaker talks of how in "every cry of every man" he hears the misery. Blake is once again reminding us that this is affecting everyone. As he goes on to comment on he can hear it in "every infants cry of fear", he is saying that even the babies know what is going .....

.... the children were sent to their grandmother’s and will later be joined by Frances when she left William with the family business. Frances died from tuberculosis when John was fourteen years of age. Frances’s death furthered financial problems for the family, which started when her father died. Now, John and his siblings were left with a guardian to live their lives. John never had any interest in books at his young age and it was only until he was at the age of fourteen that he was passionate towards literature. Though his interest was in poetry, John’s guardian forced him to attend medical school. This did not last .....

.... of the poem, and has therefore been debated among the critics. While most critics believe that the audience changes from men, to women, then to a single woman, or something along those lines, Gregory Machacek believes that the audience remains throughout the poem as "two women who have discovered that they are both lovers of the speaker and have confronted him concerning his infidelity" (1). His strongest argument is that when the speaker says, "I can love her, and her, and you and you," he first points out two random nearby women for "her, and her", then at the two that he is talking to for "you and you." The first stanza be .....

.... find out the age of young Lyca, "seven summers old." At the age of seven, a young girl must be very scared alone in the wood with out her mother and father. William Blake also in this stanza tells how Lyca became lost in this wilderness. Lyca, being a young and playful girl had saw beautiful birds singing and had followed them into the jungle, enchanted by their song. Lyca cannot go on. She is weary from walking and needs to lay down for a moments rest. Lyca lies under a tree, and begins to think about her parents whom she misses so much. She wonders if they are looking for her, and if they are worried about her. These .....
